Wolle Klaver

I bought this book at an antiquarian bookshop, I had never seen it before. It is filled with collecting cards. This book is written and drawn by Marten Toonder Studio's. Marten Toonder was a Dutch comic artist who was well known for his Tom Puss and Oliver B. Bumble series. His work has had a great influence by introducing new words and expressions into the Dutch language. the Tom Puss and Oliver B. Bumble series appeared in a Dutch newspaper from 1941-1986. It started out as a children's cartoon, but gradually became more relevant to adults. Nowadays his texts are sometimes considered literature and Marten Toonder received several literary prizes for them. (source: Wikipedia)
